I have gone to a brushed aluminum look on my '74-2.0 on the interior, nothing big but the switch area on the dash, the Momo steering wheel spokes, and the window cranks are all now brushed aluminum.
now I want to dress up the area behind the front trunk wall by covering the clutter (except the fuel tank area) with some aluminum panels. has anyone out there done this. LOOKING FOR IDEAS. |

QUOTE(wndsnd @ Oct 28 2014, 05:31 PM)  What holds the tank in? John A little bit of gravity..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Actually trying to find a nice looking plated strap assembly. All the straps I have seen are bent up. I'll have to fabricate something soon. i just keep the car upright in the meantime. I took heavy duty cardboard boxes and made base templates. I used the natural fold in the box for the corner so they have some sturdiness Double walled). I was going to make more permanent bases with those templates (using light sheet metal) but it worked out so well I kept it. I cut the box up, then stuck on PepBoy auto carpet (like perlon) with spray adhesive. They are in place pretty tight and held by two sided tape and velcro. Easily removed to get underneath. |
